RARE SUPERCHARGER | SIGNED BY SHELBY | DOCUMENTED IN REGISTRY | NUMBERS MATCH

In the world of specialty cars the name Carroll Shelby is synonymous with extreme performance and big collectability. Enthusiasts that missed the early-buying boat have spent the last few decades running straight up a value curve that just won't quit rising. And on May 10th of 2012. when the legend himself passed away. the demand for authentic Shelby pieces have hit an all-time high. Smart enthusiasts with a clear eye toward the future are buying cars like this documented 1968 Shelby "Cobra" GT350. 1 of only 1054 1968 Shelby Fastback GT350's #2864 is documented in the Shelby World Registry. largely original and unrestored with only 90K original miles (miles listed in most recent registry as of 2012) with only one repaint to the classic Shelby colors Wimbledon White and accented with Le Mans Blue Stripes (originally lime gold).

One might think with the addition of the dealer optioned Paxton supercharger this Shelby would place the car into a modified class for judging. but that is not the case. and is eligible for the stock class. (Pics show both with the Paxton and without. currently has the Paxton Supercharger on the car and tuned well. ) The all original deluxe black interior features wood-grain trim. special console with Stewart Warner Gauges. as well as a vintage Stewart Warner Boost Gauge mounted in gauge cluster as seen in pics). also has tilt-away steering. power steering (removed to make room for headers and supercharger. have original unit) and its original AM radio.
